Is it specifically that one or the whole category of drugs? I had DKA from empagliflozin within a week and was surprised they were authorised for anyone on MDI really.

...done a lot of research on the reactions between statins and T2 meds, I decided to stop taking statins. I was eventually prescribed Empagliflozin, but having just been to the Diabetic Clinic for the very first time, it seems that I'm going to be doing weekly self-injection. The doctor...

I just can’t understand why you’ve been started on canagliflozin when you’ve had DKA on empagliflozin previously! When I had the DKA after empagliflozin that whole class of drugs would not be prescribed again and is listed as an allergy on my medical records. Whats your situation with your...

...Novorapid, i've only read up about them online, I have suffered DKA twice over the last say 5-6 years but that was when i was taking Empagliflozin and it overlapped with me doing the keto diet- so no wonder. Since then he didn't want me to go back on any flozins and hence why I was taking...

I take Canagliflozin which I think is similar together with Sukkarto - I pee for England and have been told to drink lots of water. Anyway, here is a link you might find useful https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/empagliflozin/

I did see the doctor. I also have an appointment with the Diabetic Centre early November. My initial dose of Empagliflozin has been upped to 25mg. My blood sugars are around 9 at midnight, 4 or 5 hours after dinner. First thing in the morning, before breakfast, the numbers are about the same. I...

I've been on empagliflozin for 3 years now and no side effects. I need to get some keto test sticks and test a lot more now I am on a low carb diet.

Hi. Yes empagliflozin isn’t suitable if on a low carb diet because there is a risk of DKA at normal blood sugars when taking empagliflozin. Low carb diets cause ketones so you wouldn’t know if you had normal ketones or DKA ketones. I don’t follow a low carb diet and developed DKA within a week...

Hi @Alan Teather , and welcome to the forum. If you put Empagliflozin (that's the correct spelling) or Jardiance, which is it’s brand name, into the search box at the top right, you should find plenty of references come up. I think the main thing to worry about with low carbs while on...

I have been able to get back to normal eating a low carb diet - so quick and effective - I got quite a shock when I managed to get my actual numbers in the year after diagnosis - the GP practice don't like to let me know the test results. For me, having a blood glucose meter and testing myself...

Thank you for the reply Drummer, good to know i'm not the only one. Seems I can't tolerate the half decent meds. Was crackers on Empagliflozin too. :(

...so on. Actually getting a face-to-face at 30 minutes notice probably indicates just how angry I was. Not abusive, but not holding back. BG 19.1 again first thing this morning, but no more Sitagliptin, first day on Empagliflozin. Thanks to all who replied...I love the support shown on here.

...Centre. Ketone test strips delivered too, along with test strips for my test meter......the first time ever! I start on the new meds...Empagliflozin....tomorrow. Hopefully will improve, and eventually see the specialists soon. Bad enough to have to do this normally, but with Parkinson's...

...how poorly you're feeling- I hope things settle for you and you get some help, These are previous posts about Jardiance (brand name) & Empagliflozin (generic name) I hope there's some relevant comments about side effects to help you...

Hi. As others have said that BS is far too high and may be dangerous. Gliclazide would help and also possibly the Empagliflozin. Sitagliptin would have only helped a bit to remove BS peaks and not the overall amount. It's possible you are T1 and not T2. If you are not overweight then insist the...

...would get me on Glicazide, because the Sitagliptin was doing nothing. Checked my prescription list, no Glicazide, but something called Empagliflozin, which I have not yet received. Now, I have just tested, and my BG is 31.4, 4 hours after a very light lunch. I have asked the practice nurse a...

...has no effect. Hbac1 now 89. Agreed to try Glicazide, but asked for referral to diabetes clinic. Prescription just appeared, but for Empagliflozin, about which I know nothing. Exercise has been very little for a couple of years, being locked down as extremely vulnerable, and Parkinson's and...

...Metformin, but the nausea and diarrohes ended that. BG went up. Given Sitagliptin, which has no effect. Agreed to try Glicazide, but instead was prescribed Empagliflozin, about which I know nothing. I have Parkinson's too, and Atrial fibrillation, and am always wary about new meds and...

...by the start of 2020, it was 98. Why the dramatic increase after all this time I’ve no idea. I resisted the advice from my GP to start Empagliflozin, saying I wanted to step up my health and lifestyle changes first and give that a go. Started walking more each day – happy dog - and continued...

...to speak to your nurse. I wonder if the Weetabix made you kick out a lot of insulin, which then dropped your BG low with the effect of empagliflozin which inhibits glucose uptake. Despite its high fibre content, Weetabix unfortunately always hit my BGs like a train. Hope you find a way to...
